Re: Form submission help
It's beautifully simple. If a discussion is saved (because it is created or edited), every field in the submitted form is validated. Therefore, if you have a plugin which has created an additional column in the Discussion table and your plugin has extended the new discussion view so that this field can be filled out by the user, that field automatically gets saved to the database :-)
To explain with some code, look at DiscussionModel->save(). It starts with $this->defineSchema(); and that method is in class.model.php:
/**
* Connects to the database and defines the schema associated with $this->Name.
*
* Also instantiates and automatically defines $this->Validation.
*
* @return Gdn_Schema Returns the schema for this model.
*/
public function defineSchema() {
if (!isset($this->Schema)) {
$this->Schema = new Gdn_Schema($this->Name, $this->Database);
$this->PrimaryKey = $this->Schema->primaryKey($this->Name, $this->Database);
if (is_array($this->PrimaryKey)) {
$this->PrimaryKey = $this->PrimaryKey[0];
}
$this->Validation->setSchema($this->Schema);
}
return $this->Schema;
}
It defines a schema and a validation, which means that the database table is analyzed and there will be a validation based on the table scheme: checking if required fields are filled, if maximum length fields have their maximum, if enum fields fields are filled with a valid value etc.
In the DiscussionModel->save method there are those two lines which are doing all those validation work:
// Validate the form posted values $this->validate($formPostValues, $insert); $validationResults = $this->validationResults();
So if you want to simply add some fields, it could be easy as that:
- add a column to the Discussion table in your plugins structure
- look at /applications/vanilla/views/post/discussion.php for fireEvent calls and decide where to add the form field for your additional fields
That will be enough to save them.

Re: Ability to add a new Database Table?
Or just take a look at some plugins that already do that...
All the above answers are great but when I started I found existing plugins a treasure trove for learning...
Re: Allow some pages to be full screen IE no side bar
No need to add something. The body element gets automatically a #vanilla_vanilla_eventcalendar id so that the css above prefixed with #vanilla_vanilla_eventcalendar will do the trick

Re: Ability to add a new Database Table?
I suggest you take a look at the /applications/dashboard/settings/structure.php and /applications/vanilla/settings/structure.php files to find examples.
But an example looks like that:
public function setup() {
$this->structure();
}
public function structure() {
Gdn::structure()->table('Something')
->primaryKey('SomethingID')
->column('Name', 'varchar(255)', false)
->column('Default', 'text', false)
->column('Result', 'text', false)
->set();
}

Re: Allow some pages to be full screen IE no side bar
If its impossible to remove this code, the best way it's use CSS to hide this bar. EG:
.nameClass {display:none !important;}

Re: This is compatible in 3.2?
@luquitas yaga is not working on 3.3 for me, I have tried using normal default template and my own template. It still won't work.

Re: This is compatible in 3.2?
Hi, I have the same problem as @luquitas
Steps I did:
- clean install of Vanilla 3.3 on Ubuntu 18.04
- added PrettyUrls editing the Garden section of config.php --> $Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = true;
- added yagafeaturedbadges-plugin-0-1.zip, yagarankinmeta-plugin-1-0.zip and autobury-plugin-0-2.zip (without enabling them)
- tried both @Bleistivt and pioc92 forks
After enabling YAGA and refreshing the applications page, disables itself or get "Page not found". After deleting the cache... the same. Even tried to set all the files and folders with 777 permissions...
The same doing all the steps with Windows + Wamp
One thing I noticed is that in the config.php section of Yaga appears this:
// Yaga
$Configuration['Yaga']['Version'] = 'Undefined';
Am I missing something ?
Re: Double import?
It would append all entries, creating double entries, I assume. But you can create a backup and try it. Maybe you have luck

Re: User Names - Can they have spaces or not?
There is a piece of code in Vanilla which validates the user name against a pattern. You can set that pattern in the config so that it allows blanks. This is the code used:
$defaultPattern = (unicodeRegexSupport()) ? '\p{N}\p{L}\p{M}\p{Pc}' : '\w';
$validateUsernameRegex = sprintf(
"[%s]%s",
c("Garden.User.ValidationRegex", $defaultPattern),
c("Garden.User.ValidationLength", "{3,20}")
);
Therefore I would advise to add the following line to your /conf/config.php:
$Configuration['Garden']['User']['ValidationRegex'] = '\p{N}\p{L}\p{M}\p{Pc} ';
